Twitter inbound link not being indexed

I was using open site explorer to investigate inbound links to our company website and also to our competitors. The main difference being is their top links are all coming from twitter - where as ours aren't.

Now our twitter account is about 10months old maybe more and it's got the standard setup with a description and the URL. We've also been tweeting with a link directly to our site. Yet no luck? Am I missing something?

The main difference being is their top links are all coming from twitter - where as ours aren't.

I examined their top 50 links in OSE and their only twitter links are two nofollow'd links from their main twitter page to their site's home page which are nofollow'd. Both links are from different versions of the same URL which I am confident Google recognizes and thus values as a single link.

SEO begins with providing solid website architecture. The next step is to provide world-class content. Once you have a fantastic website with incredible content, THEN you want to examine earning links.

The first step would be deciding upon a single URL to represent your home page. The traditional version of your home page URL would be www.sparkstone.co.uk. If you want to use www.sparkstone.co.uk/home that can work, but you must use it 100% of the time. Even so, it is likely a percentage of users will link to the www.sparkstone.co.uk url without the /home so my first choice would be using your domain as your home page without the /home.

Once you make your choice, update all internal links and any other links you control to use the same version of the URL.
